Busy. Busy. Busy.

Janathon Day 29

Thursday: always a busy day. However, they are doubly busy when a full day of teaching is followed by parents' evening. Then throw Janathon into the mix and you have a very busy day.

It was a bitterly cold night when I finally trudged out of school, and after a bit of a snow shower this afternoon I was faced with the prospect of scraping the car of ice to get home.

Therefore, although you've probably guessed already, it was a trip to the gym for tonight's run. It was a quick 4-miler on the treadmill – quick because I wanted to get home for food. The past couple of nights at the gym has shown me one thing – legs are feeling strong at the moment – must try and get a couple of races sorted – don't want to waste the mileage.

Today's mileage = 4.13

Total Janathon mileage = 119.06

Today's picture is my view, watching tomorrow's weather forecast, as I sit on the sofa struggling to write a blog. It doesn't look like it will be a snow day tomorrow.

But I've not given up on getting one at some stage!

 

Where did that day go?

Janathon Day 27

The day began with an early morning trip to the shop to pick up something for lunch (see below).

The rest of the day was all a bit of a blur. What with teaching, marking, planning and this that and everything else, today’s run was tagged onto the end of the day. At 10.30pm! Yes you read that right…10.30pm. That is dedication above and beyond.

Of course, once you have run you have to blog. Done.

Today’s mileage = 2.61

Total Janathon mileage = 111.70

Janathon Day 25

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 3 Comments

Sunday, the home of the long run. Now if you thought that statement would be followed by a description of a very impressive dozen or so miles plodding round the Lincolnshire countryside, you are wrong. My run today barely went past three.

Today is all about relaxing. In fact, the 30 odd minutes that I was out running this morning is the only point in the day when I intend to be off the sofa. As I type this I am watching the footy, after a mental weekend on the football results front, you wouldn't bet against Bristol City. This weekend's accumulator was a disaster: only one predicted result right out of seven 'definites'.

Today's mileage = 3.63

Total Janathon mileage = 104.81

 

Boom!

Janathon Day 24

Today began with a fabulous breakfast…

It continued with a bit of shopping, followed by a 5-miler at the woods. But more importantly, 24 days into Janathon and we reach the landmark of 100 miles. Boom!

Today's mileage = 5.20

Total Janathon mileage = 101.18

It has been a very quiet start to 2015, not really been up to much, hence the rather boring collection of daily pictures. So a day shopping in Peterborough gets the nod…

Did I hear someone say get a life?
